The 90th edition of the Cotton Bowl will feature an exciting matchup between No. 2 Ohio State and No. 10 Miami.
Ohio State has been patiently waiting for its College Football Playoff opponent after earning a first-round bye. The Buckeyes have continued their dominance since last year’s championship run, holding steady as the nation’s No. 1 team until they were defeated by Indiana in the Big Ten title game.
To reach the quarterfinal round, Miami pulled off a major first-round victory over No. 7 Texas A&M, handing the Aggies their second loss of the season. The Hurricanes will enter this contest as a clear underdog, but anything can happen in the College Football Playoff.
